How to Dispose of Hazardous Materials Before Moving

Hazardous materials like flammable liquids, car batteries, and pesticides pose a safety hazard and a risk of damaging your belongings, so Weleski can’t move them. It’s best to make a plan for them in advance of your moving date. Follow this guide to learn how to dispose of hazardous materials properly before moving.

What Are Hazardous Materials?

Hazardous materials can’t be safely disposed of in the trash like normal waste, and should never be burned. To prevent harm to the environment or other people, they must be disposed of using specific protocols. The hazardous or flammable materials Weleski can’t transport include:
  • Aerosols
  • Ammunition and loaded guns
  • Batteries
  • Charcoal, lighter fluid, and matches
  • Fire extinguishers
  • Gasoline
  • Liquid bleach
  • Nail polish and nail polish remover
  • Paint and paint thinner
  • Pesticides
  • Propane tanks
  • Weed killer
For a full list of hazardous materials Weleski can’t transport, visit AtlasVanLines.com.

How to Dispose of Hazardous Waste in Pittsburgh

Residents of Allegheny County can drop off their household hazardous waste at their nearest collection point on specific dates. The Department of Environmental Protection lists locations, dates, and contact information for Pittsburgh hazardous waste drop-off sites on its website.

  1. Before moving just ensure that you are disposing your all waste material before shifting to the new city or state as it is not a good sign to keep the waste material or leaving like this as just keep in mind before Cross-Canada Movers to the new house just throw off the wastage before moving to the new city.
